I was not aware that you had suffered a head injury. Was this from combat if you don’t mind my asking? If it’s too personal, my apologies for asking.
It’s not personal at all.
No, i am not in the same league with the men who got the injury from combat. They are heroes.
Boxing for five years in late teens and twenties didn’t help.
But the chronic pain i got made me seek help later on and a doctor gave me two contraindicated meds that caused a thalamic stroke.
i was STILL very functional after about a year but then fell down cement stairs because i didn’t take the dizziness aspect of my problem seriously.
that was the icing on the cake.
pulsatile tinnitus. chronic pain. night terrors, internal tremors, dizzines at times, but all in all, pretty livable.
the night terrors aren’t psychiatric. alot of the soldiers get them.
the theory is yor brain is trying to fix the damage when you sleep and it gets frustrated that it cant hence the night terrors.
i had other issues that went away, and with God, anything is possible.
If you have a son or nephew who was injured this way, you have my prayers.
